Pizza Wars was a poster created for ShowBiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese’s in 1988.
Production
This poster was one of the few Rock-Afire Explosion parody posters released in 1988. Once Concept Unification began this poster would cease production in 1990.
This poster has been re-released by Creative Engineering after Concept Unification after mass fanfare for the Rock-afire Explosion has been ignited in the 2000s.[1]
Design
The poster is a parody of the Star Wars movie poster from 1977.[2]
This piece details Duke LaRue as Luke Skywalker, Mitzi Mozzarella as Princess Leia, Billy Bob and Beach Bear as C-3PO and R2-D2, and Fatz as Darth Vader in the background, the Death Star now looks like a pizza. As completely new art was created for the characters, Billy Bob utilizes a stock pose.[3]
